Consider fractional help when growth, scrutiny, or sensitivity are present. Growth means bigger customers and more markets. Scrutiny means security reviews, audits, or investor diligence. Sensitivity means personal data, payments, health, or confidential customer content. Start with an individualized assessment and a ninety day plan that is designed to improve sales speed, reduce risk, and prepare for audits without adding full time overhead.

Review on a schedule and when things change. Use a quarterly light review and an annual deep review. Trigger a review after an incident, a material product change, a new region, or a large vendor change.
